Chapter 1 Introduction
This document describes installation and operation of iNEX Federation software, which is designed to be
used with iNEX Standard software.
The federation service allows you to monitor live video from devices registered on the administration services
and to play back recorded video saved in the recording servers that are registered on the administration services.
If a backup service is registered on a federation service, the iNEX system backs up video that is saved in
the recording servers and DVRs registered on the administration services. If monitoring services are registered
on a federation service, the iNEX system allows you to monitor events, which are notified from monitoring
services registered on the administration services, in the Client system of the federation service.
